Making A Purchase Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our catalogue, and click on the add to cart button of any items that you wish to buy to put them into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click the checkout button and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to satisfy the order.

We accept credit card payment. If you are shopping from outside the U.K. place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to your own currency.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Solo, and JCB.

Your chosen book(s) will be reserved for you pending receipt of payment. (You may also use this method to pay by cheque or postal order. Overseas customer's please note, cheque payment MUST be made in Sterling. We cannot accept foreign currency of any kind.)

Shipping And Handling Shipping charges are not included in the prices displayed with the books. They are calculated when the order is placed, based on the total weight of the order, including all packaging, and your location.

For further information see Delivery Schedule below.

Delivery Schedule We aim to despatch your books within two working days of receipt of your order. (Mimimum postage charge: £2.00)
Delivery times will vary depending on your location and service required:

Europe:
Airmail takes 3 to 5 days:
Surface mail to EU destinations is no longer offered as the prices are almost identical to airmail

Canada:
Delivery times are the same as the Rest of the World.
The maximum weight allowed is lower than either the EU or the rest of the world, please see the note below regarding excess weight orders.

Rest of the World
Airmail takes 3 to 5 days:
Surface mail takes ******2 to 12 WEEKS****** yes, thats: ******2 to 12 WEEKS****** !!!!!

Times are approximate, and not guaranteed. Guaranteed, timed services are available if required.

We have limited the overseas shipping weight to allow for the weight limit on shipping books at Royal Mail's reduced postal rate.

Excess Weight Orders:
If your order was rejected because it exceeded the allowed weight, please contact us for a revised shipping cost.
Heavier parcels can be shipped by International Parcel Services, or it may be more cost effective to split your order into 2 or more packages. These prices are only available on application, and we would be happy to discuss options.
Please contact us for further information.

Back Orders If for any reason, your chosen book is not in stock, we will let you know.
As most items offered are "one-offs" we can't hold back-orders as such, but we will gladly add items to our wants list.

Tax Charges There is, at present, no tax on books, or secondhand items, so all items are zero rated. However, local customs may tax imports. All parcels sent outside the EU will have customs labels attached. You are advised to check local regulations regarding import tax.

Credit Card Security Credit card payments are securely processed by WorldPay, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group.
No card details are passed to Flyingbooks.
